Mr. Hubert. You knew the number of the club?
Mr. Senator. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Have you any comment to make as to why you didn’t call Ruby?
Mr. Senator. No particular reason. I didn’t think of it, because when he left the house he said he was going to take the dog to the club and most naturally I heard the conversation he was going to the Western Union, so who knew where his whereabouts would be.
Mr. Hubert. Well, of course, you didn’t know his whereabouts after you called Martin?
Mr. Senator. That is right, there was no particular reason. It just happened to be that I thought of Jim Martin.
Mr. Hubert. All I want to do is to give you an opportunity to state for the record why it was that you did not next think of calling your friend and roommate whose approximate location you knew?
Mr. Senator. It just didn’t enter my mind, that is all. I just didn’t think about it. There was no particular reason why.
Mr. Griffin. Let me ask you this, Mr. Senator. Was it your practice to spend time socially with Jack Ruby other than when you saw him at the apartment? Did you and he do things together?
Mr. Senator. No; first of all I’m out most of the time. When I get up in the morning, I mean he is still sleeping when I got up, and I don’t see him in the daytime. Maybe on rare occasions something will happen, but the overall picture, no.
